Thanks, Rainer. This also raises a question:

If I run emacs from Finder, which shell governs its behavior? I use both zsh 
and tcsh in iTerm 2. (

I think I have tcsh set as my default, but I haven't figured out how to get 
Ruby/Rails, etc. running from there, so I still use zsh
for some development.)

Thanks!
